Take bus #185 from Bray or bus #44 from Dublin to Enniskerry
Powerscourt Park is open to the public between mid of March and end of October, daily from 09.30a.m. till 05.30p.m.

Nearest airport is Dublin. Regular bus & train service from Dublin.
As North Wicklow is now considered part of the Dublin commuter belt, the Dublin local surburban rail services the coastal towns of Bray, Greystones and goes as far as Arklow.
You could really do with a car to get around Wicklow.
